We have an active report developped which works fine in IE, but when I launch it in Chrome, it just keeps opening new tabs in the browser with nothing showing up.  Using Chrome version 44

Has anyone else had success with active reports on Chrome?

What version of Cognos 10 BI are you using? If it's any version before 10.2.2, then you're not going to be able to get Chrome to work. In versions prior to 10.2.2, Active Reports (when consumed from within the Cognos interface) are simply MHT files. If your browser supports MHT, you can open the report (eg IE natively and FireFox with the unMHT addin) but Chrome doesn't support MHT.

In 10.2.2, when consuming Active Reports from within the Cognos interface, Cognos unpacks the MHT and renders it as a normal HTML page, so browsers such as Chrome and Safari can be used.
